A hemodynamic correlate of lateralized visual short-term memories

► Visual short-term memory for lateralized stimuli was investigated using fNIRS. ► Hemodynamic activity in IPS/IOS cortical regions was influenced by memory load. ► Load-related responses in IPS/IOS regions did not differ contralaterally and ipsilaterally. ► Hemodynamic and electroencephalographic variations in IPS/IOS are dissociable.
